Sikkim, once an independent Buddhist Kingdom, became a state of India in 1975. Measuring 2800 sq. km, its terrain rises from just above sea level to the ice bound summits of Kanchanjunga [8598 m], third highest peak in the world. Sikkim's forests are primeval due to a relatively sparse of orchids and rhododendron in every color imaginable. The Sikkimese are of three distinct heritage's: Lepcha, believed to have originated from the border area of Assam and Burma, the Bhutia, who settled from Tibet almost 400 years ago and the Nepalese. They follow the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and there are open air bazaars in the hillside capital of Gantok. Hotels are attractive and comfortable, and local restaurant offer Tibetan, Sikkimese and Chinese food. Cultural programs are available on request.
